   Frankly autopilot is probably in the top quartile of company leadership. CEO flailing only seems to make things worse.

   BYD stands for "build your dreams." Seems like soul to me.

   Seems unlikely this will convince anyone that disagrees with Israeli policy that they're wrong. Quite the opposite, I imagine. That can't be good for long term support of Israel by America.

   Buildings depreciate, but land does not.

   Taxing land ownership reduces returns on land ownership, making consolidation less rather than more likely. Wasn't that your main concern? And yes, the amount of money to spend and how that money are collected are separate political qu

   An LVT specifically targets land rents, yes including imputed rents. Implied is an end to income and sales tax. The effects of this will be to discourage things like a surface parking lot or low rise motel in the dense part of a city. Subu

   Improvements are not considered in a land value tax; it's kind of the point. Land is also more fungible and easier to model the value of than improvements. Why would you prefer an income tax -- by definition, taking earned income -- to

    Thank you for the correction: I didn't realize each DDR5 transaction was only 32 bits.

    New starts are down across the board because interest rates are up, making construction harder to finance.

    HSR is getting built; the USD successfully connected rural areas, though I agree that was pointless; EV charger build out is accelerating despite funds being illegally yanked back.

    Isn't that what machine code is? LLMs work best with interfaces meant for humans because they're trained on human behavior. It's why they generate JSON and not BSON.

    LLM evaluation on GPU and CPU is memory bandwidth constrained. The highest-end Apple machines are good for this because they have ~500GBps high memory bandwidth and up to ~128GB, not just because they can share that memory with the GPU (whi

    You can get 128GB @ ~500GB/s now for ~$2k: https://a.co/d/bjoreRm It has 8 channels of DDR5-8000.

    Costs for inference have already dropped dramatically in the last few years; I think it's reasonable for Anthropic (and others) to prioritize market share as long given their ease of access to capital.

    This feels a lot less "autonomous" to me than Jules, and therefore more like Gemini/ChatGPT, but I agree Jules CLI would have been a cromulent name.

    Is it really that confusing? Gemini is the equivalent of ChatGPT; AI Studio is for advanced users that want to control e.g. temperature; Vertex AI is the GCP integrated API; Notebook LLM is basically personal RAG; and Jules is a developer a

    People working _in Manhattan_ can't choose their employer and where to live? Come on. People commuting in from NJ just prefer to live in the suburbs.
